What a great little gem in Berlin. The staff and up keep were on point. Super easy to get around with both the tram and subway literally steps away. Need a little help, the staff on all levels were more than willing. They always went out of there way to make you feel welcome. I know where I'm staying when I return to Berlin!

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. On check-in for our 5-night stay, we were upgraded to an apartment, which afforded us some extra space and a small kitchen. The rooms and common areas were clean and thoughtfully designed and a small rooftop patio provides expansive views over the city, but the truth is...Berlin is at your doorstep. You're only steps away from trams and trains that bring the whole city with in reach, and the neighborhood is a buzz with diverse eateries, shops and unique experiences. Take the M1 up to the PraterGarten or down to Hackescher Markt and lose yourself in the courtyards of the höfes. My wife and i are avid travelers, and the Circus Hotel is a place we could return to time and again.

Clean room and very friendly staff. It felt like a full-service boutique hotel that was nice to call home for a week. They have their own ap which was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants/attractions etc.and the staff helped book tickets and reservations for us.

Disliked: Staff & service

Loud, no AC, and lacks basic TV in room

We were booked into room 107 and the moment we opened the door we were immediately disappointed as it was facing the street and was extremely noisy and small. The room had a smart tv that had no access to the internet and had no English language channels (CNN or BBC). In fact the tv had mostly German shopping channels like QVC times seven. I had friends in the same building who had a tv with YouTube and CNN and BBC but apparently our TV lacked these options. I asked for assistance and the staff discovered that room 107 had a tv without basic options found in other rooms in the hotel. I was offered no formal compensation. The hotels also lacks AC. It has a nice back patio and top level space outdoors but one server tried to shortchange me by nearly 20 euros on the bill which left a bad impression.

Not suitable for hot days.

Though the Hotels.com page states the rooms are air-conditioned, this is false. There is a poor water cooling system that does not do anything—not recommended during hot weather conditions.
